Koophandel 1620s

"Koophandel" (Trade) is a 17th-century print by an anonymous artist from the Netherlands. The artwork depicts a merchant with a wide cloak, surrounded by barrels, baskets, and other goods, highlighting the importance of trade in the Dutch Golden Age. The print is likely a satirical commentary on the practices of merchants and the lucrative trade that was a hallmark of the Dutch economy. It is a valuable glimpse into the lives of merchants and the visual culture of the Dutch Republic.
